Review on πŸ”§ Topeak Universal Chain Tool, Silver (3.3 x 1.7 x 0.6-Inch): Enhanced SEO-friendly Product Title by Matthew Goozmer

Revainrating 4 out of 5

Functional mini chain tool.

Among the compact and compact chain tools, this one stands out. When I received it I immediately transferred it to the Shimano chain and knocked out the chain pin without using any other tricks to get the lever off the tool. In other words, I only used my hands. The bottom line is this tool works without driving you crazy and I love the fact that it has a shelf to center the pin after you've driven it in so the connection doesn't get stuck. This is a much better method than bending the chain until the link thaws. By the way, this is not a shop tool. Like other chained mini tools, it does not replace a full size magazine tool. Don't expect this to take you through 20 chains.

Pros
  • Heavy duty finish
Cons
  • Big and chunky
